System Safety Guidelines
Safety Guidelines for System Design and
Implementation
The NI 4136/4137 is capable of generating hazardous voltages and working within hazardous
voltage systems. It is the responsibility of the system designer, integrator, installer,
maintenance personnel, and service personnel to ensure the system is safe during use.
• Ensure operators cannot access the NI 4136/4137, cables, the device under test (DUT) or
any other instruments in the system while hazardous voltages are present.
• Operator access points can include, but are not limited to, guards, gates, sliding doors,
hinge doors, lids, covers, and light curtains.
• If using a test fixture enclosure, ensure that it is properly connected to safety ground.
• Ensure that the NI 4136/4137 is properly secured to the chassis using the two front panel
mounting screws.
• Double insulate all electrical connections that are accessible by an operator. Double
insulation ensures protection if one layer of insulation fails. Refer to IEC 61010-1 for
specific insulation requirements.
